About Sainte Maure cheese

Sainte-Maure is a French goat’s-milk cheese associated with the Touraine region. The name may refer to the protected Sainte-Maure de Touraine cheese; without further specification, this draft describes that established cheese style. It is eaten as a table cheese and used in savoury cooking.

The cheese is traditionally a long, narrow log with a soft interior and an ash-covered rind. Its texture becomes firmer as it matures, while its flavour develops from tangy and mild to more pronounced. It is sold whole or in cut portions.
